    Muzzy Hunt - Bullet Recommendations

    This is definitely something to consider. You can use sabots and pellets in NM but not CO, we hunted NM in 2021 with scope, pellets and powerbelts, see elk in profile pic. But then hunted CO this past season so we had to switch to loose powder and full bore bullets. I ended up getting a new...

    Simplifying Bow Setup

    Aim for heart up close, higher for double lung at 30 It has the possibility, but It hasn't cost me an animal yet and I'd bet the opportunity it provides for more accurate long and follow up shots outweighs the chance or times of error. I highlighted my yardage tape at last pin...

    Simplifying Bow Setup

    Maybe I wasn't clear, I'm shooting 3 pin slider, I'd hold 40 yd pin for 40. I meant by the 90% that those were within 20 to 35 yards

    Are “Plugged” lever guns legal in your state’s straight wall season?

    It all depends on the wording... To my knowledge our wording for MS has something to do about when the cartridge or style of gun was first manufactured, I don't really know the details, but it's single shot only 35 whelen, 444, and 45-70. Tell them just go ahead and make it rifle season, that's...

    Making sure I understand Kansas Draw odds

    It looks like 1 point will draw any unit. We drew four archery tags in 2022 with zero points, 2 adult and 2 youth. The odds were 70% the year before, but show 30% for 2022 so I'm not sure how we all four drew as individual apps. I was only expecting to draw 2 or 3 tags to have while I worked...

    Fair Chase

    I think that sums it up perfectly. Everyone's going to be at a different point on each of those spectrums. I favor more tags, less technology. Less atv/road access, less gun hunt days.

    Simplifying Bow Setup

    I would rarely adjust my sights in the field for whitetail. I can't think of once that I would have for whitetail in the east. For big game only(not turkey or grouse shooting) setting pins at 25/40/50, I would kill 90% of whitetail with 25yd pin. It's nice to have for dialing in your bow at...

    Simplifying Bow Setup

    After going to a 3 pin slider, I'd stick with it, even if I was just whitetail hunting. Even though most shots are closer, it's great for practice and you never know when you might end up with a longer shot. With lo pro fixed quiver on V3X I haven't been using any stabs. I still want to do...

    Inconsistency day to day

    What about caffeine? I've heard that can have effects on shooting, both gun/bow.

    How long do strings last

    1 to 2 seasons, Years ago when I shot less, I would have went longer, but after 2 seasons now I'm changing no matter what. I think the year of covid "working from home" I shot so much it only lasted 1 season.

    For those using Go Hunt for making draw decisions..

    It may be the way you're looking at the units. If you're only looking at the list of units where you can sort them by harvest, draw odd, etc, then you won't see the date of the data. But if you click into the unit page you can see the year of the data. No need to go to the state website...

    Montana season change proposal

    Why would you like separate seasons if you're mostly meat hunting? I'd think most hunters (R & NR) that aren't primarily trophy hunting would favor concurrent seasons to increase opportunity. Colorado's archery seasons are concurrent and it's nice to have both tags in your pocket. I planned...

    Montana season change proposal

    I think any state where farmer/ranchers are getting any money for damages should have to allow hunter access to receive funds.

    Montana season change proposal

    I saw plenty trucks when I hunted Montana, funny thing is they all had Montana tags, but maybe they were rentals :ROFLMAO:

    For those using Go Hunt for making draw decisions..

    Definitely worth using, It just takes a little more than looking at one year's success rate How fresh their data is depends on when the states release the raw data. I think what he's saying is when he first researched he saw 2022 data and only looked at it and now he's seeing 2023 because CO...

    For those using Go Hunt for making draw decisions..

    It depends on the hunt, I'm not sure why they show for some and not for others, but some they definitely do. Others you can look and the total tag numbers and see when there are only a few tags, the data is up and down. The difference in ~200 surveyed vs a hunt with 4 tags.

    Archery Deer hunting in January

    I hunted a southeast unit in Jan and got there a few days later than the opening. I didn't see much rutting activity, but still found enough deer to make several plays on bucks, but it never worked out and I had to cut the hunt short for a work thing. Always saw deer moving well after daylight.

    For those using Go Hunt for making draw decisions..

    Based on what experience? Assuming hunters lie, the percentage of hunters lying should be equal across the board making a comparison between units in the same state with same data collection method somewhat relevant. One thing to look for to see the data is crap, is wild swings in harvest...

    Gillette WY to start building nuclear power plants

    It's probably not related to the plant. Mine works fine on site and off(multiple plants), including "tracks" while hunting areas surrounding
